Celebrating the Life of Barbara Jo Colvert

Barbara Jo Colvert, 80, longtime resident of Hooks, Texas, went home to be with her Lord on September 6, 2025. She was born on January 2, 1945, in DeKalb, Texas, to Scott and Thelma McGill.

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents; 3 sisters, Thelma Joyce Hancock, Linda Sue Parker, and Doris McGill.

Family was Barbara's heart. She never missed a chance to cheer on her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews in everything they did. Her presence was a constant source of love, encouragement, and pride. She was known for her warm smile, her kind heart, and her unwavering faith in God. To know Barbara was to know someone who loved deeply and praised her Lord joyfully.
